    I totally posted this wrong...i see no harm in the current structure of the tutorials, it is our own choice after bringing up a topic whether to watch it entirely and bring up other links....isn't it?

    lately very few posts are going where they should...personally I don't think ad that take you to craigslist or ebay should be in our classified section!

    as for the tutes, I figures ALL tutes went there..but suppose they could go to links/resources...and if you are looking for something particular there is always the SEARCH box at the top of every page!

    I prefer all the tutorials in one place, rarely look at the other section. I appreciate the links in the tutorial section.

    Lately I've noticed topics listed in tutes that have sounded like something I'd like to learn only to find the person is asking for help to to something or ideas. These types of topics do't belong in tutes and the moderators do a fantastic job but don't always catch them. I alos prefer things that actually show me how o do somethg not a link because my compter is really picky about what links it will go to.

    If people would have the common courtesy to put a subject in their title, it would alleviate a lot of poking around. Subjects such as "Need Help", "Found It", and so forth, without a clue what the subject is should not be allowed. I don't have time to play childish guessing games. Sorry for the vent but when I see thread after thread without a clue, I leave the forum and go play with adults.

    You can always try to go to the linked site by hand typing in the address in a new window. I too am semi-computer challenged and my daughter taught me that trick (well that and a REALLY good firewall).

    The site subjects are just fine the way it is.

    I like in one place also. Maybe some can be convinced to include "link" in the titles so if some don't like to follow links they can avoid those.

    actually, having been a board administrator elsewhere, i know that there is a feature that admin can enable to make subforums with in another forum. i.e.
    Tutorials
    Member Tutorials
    Off-Site Tutorials
